Okay after I did my calendar, I wanted to do an update on my menu board. It still needs something but I don't know what. This one I cut vinyl letters out using my Cricut and stuck on. I can always remove them quite easy to update as needed. My last menu board only had week days on it and I was missing the weekend so I added that one on to the new one.

I so love this20x20 chalkboard frame I picked up from the craft store for like 18 bucks after I used my 40 percent off coupon.

The board is nice and big for everyone to see and it helps with a variety of food in the house.

Pinterest is EVIL okay not really but it gives me way to many ideas that I wish I had all the time in the world.  So I saw this fabric banner which is so easy and it takes like 5 minutes to make. I bought some bias tape and than using pinching shears cut out 8 triangles from my fabric stash. I than just sewed the triangles on to the bias tape. That is so easy.

I than decided it needed something and made my ribbon rosettes which also take no time, hot glued them on and there you go.


I made it green to work with both St. Patty's Day as well as Easter. Though most likely it will stay up for awhile. So easy to make 4th of July ones as well.

There is a new Cricut Explore coming out and I really would like it but I need to use my current one more to justify upgrading to the new one so I have been playing with it a
lot over the last few weeks.


I purchased some vinyl and cut out the "STUFF" letters and stuck them on the dollar bucket I got from the dollar store. It sits on our stairs for all the stuff that needs to go up. I have been looking for the right size buckets for the kids for Easter and I plan on sticking their names on those as well.

There is this great Facebook group called Stampin Up Friends and they started doing challenges which I love and lately haven't done enough of so I thought why not.


Here is my creation using all but one SU item (the twine is non-SU).


Here is the sketch inspiration:
